    Nice one Keith. Love the golden line and head turn.
    The viewfinder is my guidance.

    I like the water patterns and colors. The bird looks a bit dark and the catchlight quite large. I would put the bird further to the left in the frame and wish for a lower angle and better head angle. Thanks for sharing!

    Very helpful comments, Axel. The large catchlight is real, but I agree it looks too big. I shot this bird in the center of the frame, so I can add some canvas on the right side to fix that. And I've just got to get down prone in the muck to get those good low-angle shots. Have to remember to always have a change of clothes in the car. ;o)
